I had asked Reina out on a date. She was surprised but was glad that I asked.
"Yes, I'm serious. We haven't been alone much at all. This is a good time to get to know more of one another."
"Let me get dressed up. I need to look my best."
Reina was ecstatic. Without saying anything else, she dashed out to her room. I wondered how long Reina would take to change.
I instantly changed my clothes and waited for Reina to come out. After twenty minutes, Reina finally came out.
She had everything ready and was looking fresh. Reina had her tied up in a ponytail. She wore a light white dress for an outing.
"How do I look?"
"You look beautiful. Let's start our date."
Reina grabbed my arms, and we started our date. First things first are for us to leave our house. I haven't planned the date itself, but nothing should go wrong.
"Reina, let's buy us an artifact that makes us less noticeable."
I have wanted this ever since the people around me started to crowd. Reina agreed to it since it would be annoying if someone just came up and wasted our time.
"Could I have your autograph?"
Taking the first few steps had me a fan outside of my house. I should get security... I took the girl's pen and wrote my name.
"Sorry, but you shouldn't be here. I have something I have to do."
Before the fan could talk, I shut her up. I carried a princess carry for Reina and ran. My speed was much faster than us walking together.
"Reina, could I ask you to get security for our house? I don't want to meet someone outside of my house."
"I will do what I can. But I'm surprised that our house doesn't have much security."
Meeting Julius, his lawyer, and Constance at my house is unsettling. First, we went to a store that sold artifacts.
"Hello, Charles Anderson. What could I get you?"
Meeting people that know my name is also unsettling. The person in front is a woman that works in the store. Checking my rank, she quickly knew my identity.
"Do you have any artifacts that could mask our rank? Or lower our presence?"
With me being direct, the worker here would tell us if they sold any artifacts relating to the things I asked for. If they don't have any, I will switch stores.
"I'm glad you asked. Recently we got an artifact that indeed hides one rank. With your status, our boss wouldn't mind if you bought it."
"How much?"
I don't mind it being overpriced. It would mean that I won't ever visit this store ever again.
"Five hundred million dollars."
"I'll take it."
What a shrewd businesswoman. The price of this thing was overpriced. I wasn't going to voice it out. I may be greedy, but I also needed this artifact.
I could bargain for the price, but that would give me a headache. I'll just secretly run this store out of business.
The woman who heard me agree to the price smiled with money in her eyes. I want to see her face when all her luck comes crashing down.
Anyways now that I bought the artifact, I tested it. No one was stupid enough to scam me. I can kill their family and get away with it.
"Oh, it works."
The bright side was that there wasn't anyone there stupid enough to scam me. The rank around me was now hidden, making me similar to a foreigner of another world.
"Are you ok with paying such a price?"
Reina thought there was something wrong with my head. I just felt like I should haggle for prices of things at my current status.
"I'm not, but I prefer to have my date with you as soon as possible."
Reina took it wrong and blushed, but it was still the truth. I wanted to check her overall mental state, and so far, it's looking good.
"Do you have anywhere you want to check out first?"
I didn't mind where we went. It was better for Reina to pick where she wanted to go.
"There is one place where I want to go. I never had anyone to."
"And what place is that?"
"The cinema."
I have also never been in a theater room. Being poor limited my choice to do anything. I couldn't go to a place like this. Even if I could, I had no friends. My life before the system is sad...
"Is there something wrong with that?"
Reina sensed my mood dropping. Shaking those thoughts, I went back to my regular self.
"No, I also wanted to go. Like you, I have never been in one."
"So it's both of our first time. It looks like I took another first of yours."
I stared at her, astonished. This was the first time I saw her make a dirty joke. Seeing that I was staring at her, Reina looked flustered.
"Never mind. Let's go!"
Reina waved what she said earlier off. Holding my hand tightly, we went to the cinema. Arriving at a cinema had a different feeling. The place was darker, and the outline was different from most places.
"What movie are we going to watch?"
There were ten movies currently on air. Three were from the romance genre, five were action/thriller, one was a comedy, and the final was horror.
I honestly wanted to watch the horror one, but I wanted something more relaxing for the date. Reina checked the reviews and synopsis for each movie, and she finally made a decision.
pαndα noνɐ1,сoМ "Charles, do you mind if we watch this?"
"This one is good. We should get a ticket first. We don't want to miss the schedule for the airing time."
Reina picked a romance/drama movie. It was the highest-rated movie out of the ten, and I haven't watched much of this genre. Our first activity begins with this.
